Maoshan Taoist priests practice falsehood and become reality

Chapter 171 Daocheng Temple Bell

Hirata Sakurako walked out of the elevator. The waiting hall of Nuoda was pitch black, with only the emergency exit warning sign flashing a faint green light.

She carefully touched the consecration light.

pat.

Electric current passes through the lamp tube, and rows of energy-saving lamps light up, illuminating the empty waiting hall. Looking around, I didn't see any guards, nor could I find any trace of human life.

The dust accumulated thick white ash on the ground, leaving many footprints on it. Some of the footprints should be from workers and were re-covered by dust, leaving shallow traces.

There is another row of footprints that look like they were just left. They are very clear. Judging from the shoe size, they should be around size 41... Oh yes, these are Su Heng's footprints!

Sakurako Hirata gritted her teeth when she thought of the fact that this guy had made himself invisible in advance to avoid being ambushed. Doesn't this mean he was treating her as a living target?

So cautious! How can your opponent play with such caution?

Su Heng released his invisibility. He had destroyed the monitoring and asked Yang Qing to patrol the area with a few men to ensure that everything was normal.

"I checked and there is no one nearby. This place must have been deserted for a while. It's strange. Logically speaking, such an important place should not leave only one overseer. It's too careless."

Sakurako Hirata thinks that the enemy has done enough. After all, who would have expected that the enemy would emerge from the ground?

Ten minutes later, the two left the subway station and arrived near Aomori Prefecture. It is indeed an area with a forest coverage rate of up to 70%. Looking at the past, surrounded by mountains and lush forests, if it were not for the asphalt road, Su Heng almost thought he had returned to the barren mountains and ridges in the fairy's dream.

"You can reach Aomori Prefecture by driving along this road for one hour. Mount Haguro is in the opposite direction, and it takes about two hours to get to the base of the mountain from here."

Sakurako Hirata has no night vision, so she can only use the dim light of a flashlight to try to identify the direction.

"Two hours? To save time, I'd better continue to carry you."

Sakurako Hirata, who had just been put down to move freely for a while, was brought up again like a searchlight.

Su Heng opened his stance, exerted all his strength, and made a sprint.

Sakurako Hirata felt something bad: "Wait, wait a minute... Wow, wow, wow, wow, lululu..."

The strong wind blew against her face, and her entire face was deformed.

"Slow...slow down!"

The two-hour drive took Su Heng only one hour. If Sakurako Hirata hadn't been unable to bear it, he would have been even faster.

He put Sakurako Hirata down and gave a heartwarming reminder: "Your hair seems to be messed up."

Sakurako Hirata couldn't care less about her hairstyle. She rushed to the roadside and vomited on the spot.

Fortunately, it was summer now. If it had been winter, she would have been frozen to death on the spot!

This Taoist priest really doesn't know how to show mercy at all. Come to think of it, Okazaki-kun is still gentle. He thoughtfully prepares a windproof helmet every time he goes for a ride.

In the past, Sakurako Hirata always thought that wearing a helmet was not enough freedom, but now it seems that freedom is not freedom, safety comes first!

The first day when I returned to District 11 and missed Okazaki-kun.

"You look a little bad. Do you still need my help on the next mountain road?"

"No! I can walk by myself... Besides, we are already very close to the five-story tower."

The full moon peeked out from behind the dark clouds, and its light was like water, coating the towering pine forest with a layer of silver frost. The ancient five-story pagoda is surrounded by pine trees, with half of its spire slightly exposed.

"Yang Qing, please lead some rampant troops on both sides and surround them to ensure that no one can leave here tonight."

"Order."

Sakurako Hirata regained consciousness, and the two of them walked along the stone steps towards the five-story pagoda step by step.

At the end of the stone steps, there stands a red wooden gate. In the center of the wooden crown, hang the corpses of three monks. Judging from the degree of decomposition, they must have been dead for at least a month.

"Looks like you're late."

The five-story pagoda of Mount Haguro is built in the woods. Near the pagoda is a huge cedar tree that has been in the forest for thousands of years, with a circumference of an exaggerated ten meters.

The Haguro Mountain five-story pagoda is the oldest pagoda in the area. The total height of the tower is about 30 meters, with a total of five floors. The pagoda has a spire, and the body of the pagoda is a pure wooden structure without any coloring.

There are two lamp niches on both sides of the front of the tower, five meters apart.

The pagoda, which should be solemn and sacred, looks weird because it is filled with corpses. Different from the corpses hanging at the mountain gate, these corpses were all burned black with charcoal, shaped like small bells, and hung under the eaves of the pagoda.

This horrifying scene really frightened Sakurako Hirata to the point where her legs became weak and she almost collapsed to the ground.

Su Heng, who had seen a similar scene in Baihua Village, was unfazed. After careful observation, he found that each bell was made of two corpses hugging each other.

"A couple were burned to death and then made into a bell?"

There are a total of eighteen small bells. Two corners of the eaves of the uppermost pagoda are empty.

"I don't know if Cuiyu and his wife are inside."

The body was burned to such a state that it was difficult to identify it.

Squeak.

The wooden door on the first floor of the tower was pushed open, and green will-o'-the-wisps rose from the two lamp niches in front of the tower, illuminating the woman in kimono walking out of the door, accompanied by the sound of "rustling".

The woman has long hair shawl, her face is thickly rouged, her eyes are gorgeous, her upper body is boldly opened in a gorgeous kimono, exposing her snow-white breasts, she is holding a folding fan to cover her face, and giggles come from behind the fan:

"Your Excellency's courage is admirable. How should Qingji call you?"

"Just call me Taoist priest."

Qing Ji, she is Qing Ji!

During the Night Walk of Hundreds of Ghosts, there are rumors of a monster with the head of a human and the body of a snake.

Sakurako Hirata unconsciously shifted her gaze to the woman's lower body, and sure enough she saw a snake body.

The "rustling" sound just now was caused by the snake's body dragging the floor.

"Taoist Master came to visit you late at night. What do you mean?"

"I'm here to find someone. Half a month ago, a woman named Iori Inoue came here. Have you seen her?"

"Ah, Inoue. She is on the tower..."

"He is indeed dead."

"No, at least not yet." Kiyohime narrowed her eyes and said quite proudly, "Our bet is not over yet. After tonight, if she cannot wake up her husband Shimada Koo, she will be made into the third child. Nineteen-mouth Daochengji bell.”

What, it’s been half a month and you’re still alive?

No blessed person will die!

Since he is not dead, he must take action.

"Please take me to see her."

"Hahaha! You Taoist priest is really interesting. Didn't you listen carefully? She will be made into a Daocheng Temple bell hanging under the eaves!"

Qing Ji quickly swam out, her snake body surrounding Su Heng in the center, and she lowered her folding fan, revealing a mouth with sharp fangs and a scarlet snake letter.

Hiss~

Qingji's dark golden snake eyes stood up, trying to catch the fear in the man's eyes, but the man stared at her boldly without any fear.

And the brown pupils slowly transformed into gold, emitting a faint golden light.

At this moment, Qing Ji felt like millions of steel needles were piercing her brain, bursting out in intense pain.

The huge snake twisted and rolled, causing the five-story tower to sway and teeter.

Su Heng stepped forward, stepped on the monster under his feet, and whispered:

"You didn't listen carefully, did you? Say it again, take me to see Inoue Iori."
